HE SHOULD SET An EXAMPLE.

Mr. Cleveland is right when he says it
is the duty of every citizen to respect the
office of president and the incumbent it
holds. But those who have been charged
with failing in that respect may claim
some excuse in Mr.. Cleveland's failure
to show proper respect for the Office he
holds. Perhaps Mr.. Cleveland doesn't
know how to maintain the proper dignity
of the place and this alone can excuse
the humiliating exhibitions he has made
of himself At the great Harvard cele-
bration, he was called upon to address
the hundreds of educated men who had
met to celebrate an educational event,
and he broke out in spiteful and undig
ni6ed scold about the ''ghoulish glee" of
the press, because the newspaper report
ers disturbed his honeymoon and the
newspapers had criticised his public acts.
This is entirely characteristic of his lack
Of respect for the Office he holds. Beccm-
ing engaged in a quarrel with some men,
acceptance of the st. Louis invitation
and was so lacking in that sense of pro-
priety and sense of the dignity of his
office, that be called attention to the
threats that he says were made against
him. The threats were absurd if they
ever were made and his public notice of
them was in the worst possible taste, par
ticularly as be declared they had not in
fuenced his course In effect, the presi
dent of the United States complains that
some men do not respect the office he
holds. "They threaten to pelt me with
bad eggs, but I'm not scared" Think of
a president who can say this in effect and
then complain because some men fail to
respect the office he holds.
But he couldn't drop the matter even
there Invited to Clinton to attend a CEN
tennial celebration, he breaks loose again
on the Grand Army because some of its
members do not respect him. In ordinary
life, man who goes about complaining
that people don't respect him is believed
to lack the qualities that inspire respect.
Let Mr.. Cleveland himself set an exam
pie of respect for the Office holds If he
is merely whining TO extract public sym
pathy to aid him in his second-term cam
paign-and Mr.. Wallace says: "Cleve-
land is a mighty crafty politician" let
him maintain a dignifed silence concern
ing The criticisms which are passed upon
his acts. He is the very first of all the
presidents to enter into quarrels with the
public -NiZocaukee Sentinel.

to accept nomination for the governor

and other friends to prevent my name
from going before the convention. A

appreciation of their friendship and the
kind expression of confidence and good

MAILING NEGROES.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July IA most
remarkable occurance followed negro
funeral at Mount Pleasant, about sixty
miles south OF Nashville, Tuesday, nine
negroes being killed by single stroke of
lightning. A large party followed the
remains OF Harriet Terry to the grave.
The usual ceremonies at the grave were
performed, and just as the last prayer
had been said an ominous cloud came up
from the east. The party had scarcely
left the grave when one of the most Sc
we're thunder and rain storms ever known
in that section burst on them. All i'm
mediately made break for the various
trees scattered around the graveyard.
Scarcely had those who. were killed
reached the shelter of an immense oak
when the tree was struck by lightning.
The whole party of nine tumbled down
together, and died instantly. Their
names are as follows:
William Burch, pastor of the colored Method
list Episcopal church.
Hattie Burch, his wife.
John Harmon, a minister engaged in mission
ary work.
Manuel Orr, Methodist preacher.
Tom Rodgers.
Hester Terry, mother of the girl who was bur-
led.
Eliza and Rose Terry, daughters of Hester
Terry.
Sebra Guthrie.
1t was noticed that the part of each
body nearest the tree was SCARED and the
clothes torn Intense excitement pre-
vailed all the evening, and the waling
and mourning Of the frightened negroes
was heartrending.

Mr.. CLEVELAND had lots of fun in

private pension bills. He was so funny
over some of the claims of old soldiers
and widows that one Democratic paper
declared it would engage him to run a
funny column after his ret;remen. from

Mr.. Cleveland that little official dignity,
a little higher respect for his Office, would
have been worth something to him-now
that he finds other persons, also, fail to
show respect for his ofice.-MiIacaukee

record which has not hitherto attracted
much attention. While he was governor
of New York the legislature of that state

in the Mexican war. Mr.. Cleveland We

X corresp sponaeut Of the Louisville Courier Journal says Some weeks ago I ran across perhaps the most famous and fatal firearms oit this com tiueut the superb dueHng pistols of Aaron Burr. They are . bone-break. ing brace of tue tirst cahbre, and the property of Capt. Brent Hopkins, of this city. One of these pistols fired the ball that killed Alexander Ham, ilton at Weehawken' It is identified by a long, deep notch iudented on the handle. The pistols were made by Mortimer, of London, England, and were imported by Burr at the close of the Revolutionary war, The barrels are thirteen inches long and carry an ounce ball. They are flint locks, and the pans for the priming are lined with gold, and the touchholes are pushed with the same metal, They are hair triggers, and shoot with great force and accuracy, The locks are very superior and of exquis. ite mechanism The pair came into the possession of Capt, Brent Hopkins, the present owner through his uncle, Capt. Sam Goode Hopkins of the Forty Regiment of United States Dragons, who purchased them from Burr, in Washington city, tp the winter of l8i3 or 1Sl4 payable $500 in gold for them. Burr remarked at the time that he would not let any one else have tho pistols as he had used them with Hamilton.
 Tho weapons have surely a blood
 stained history They have been used with fatal effect in eleven duels. Among the sanguiuary combata Pet tis, of Virginia, killed Riddle on Bloody Island, near St. Louis Edward Towns, of Virginia, killed Freuchman near New Orleans; Capt. Sam Goode Hop. kins killed 8 Spanish Count near Madrid, Mo; Hugh Brent killed a man from Georgia on Diamond Island, below Henderson, Ky They were used several times in Virginia, twice in South Carolina, and more than once in Kentucky, with deadly effect. Robert Tripplet of 0wensboro shot the old lawyer Phil Thompson, of that city through and through with one of them, but, strange to say, Thompson recovered, and grew as fat as a bear, Henry Clay and Captain Hopkins were fast friends, and the former was to have used the pistols in one of his daels, bat they arrived a day too late.
